ABS Pressure Reducing Water Tank

Product Overview

The ABS pressure reducing water tank is the header reservoir of a nipple automatic drinking system, placed above the line so water reaches the nipples at a steady gravity pressure. Model SL-05, the tank is molded in a white ABS shell and carries a vertical water level scale window on the front, graduated from 40 to 200. This scale lets the farmer confirm at a glance whether the header is full enough for the coming day. The body measures 33.5 cm across the top, 22.5 cm deep, stands 29 cm high with a 29 cm base, and weighs 1247 g. These dimensions match the common header bracket used in modern house designs.

The front face is printed with the nipple drinking system marking and the SL logo used across the range, which makes the unit instantly recognizable on a house wall and during stock checks. Because the tank holds water above the pipes, the pressure at the first nipple and the last nipple in a run stays nearly the same, which prevents uneven dripping. Each export carton holds 20 pieces, a packing size that fits container shipping neatly. The printed front also helps spare-part identification when maintenance crews order replacements.

Key Features and Benefits

• ABS white shell - the molded ABS body is light, stiff and easy to wipe clean during house maintenance.
• Scale level window - the red graduation window from 40 to 200 lets the farmer read water level without opening the lid.
• Even gravity pressure - the header design keeps nipple drip rate consistent along the whole run of the line.
• Printed system marking - the front printing identifies the unit as part of the automatic nipple drinking system.
• Standard dimensions - 33.5 cm by 22.5 cm and 29 cm high fit the usual header bracket position in modern houses.
• 20 pieces per carton - the export packing keeps freight cost predictable for distributors.

Materials and Quality

The tank is injection molded from ABS, a material chosen for its balance of light weight, stiffness and impact resistance in the damp atmosphere of a poultry house. The scale window is molded into the front wall, with red graduations that remain legible through years of cleaning, and the printed logo resists the disinfectant solution used at turn-around. Every unit is pressure-tested for leaks before packing, and the export carton protects the corners and lid so the tank arrives in installable condition. The white finish also reflects light, which keeps the stored water cooler on a bright summer day. The ABS wall is smooth on the inside, which discourages biofilm from sticking to the surface between flocks.

How to Use and Maintain

Mount the tank on the header bracket above the drinking line, connect the inlet from the water source and the outlet pipe to the line, then open the supply slowly. Check the scale window weekly to confirm the level sits in the normal band. At the end of each flock, drain the tank, wipe the inside, rinse with clean water, and inspect the inlet hose for mineral buildup. If the scale window loses clarity, clean it with a soft cloth rather than abrasive scouring pads. During hot weather, check the inlet pressure once a week so the tank refills fast enough for peak drinking hours.

Applications

This ABS tank is the standard header for automatic nipple drinking systems in broiler houses, layer sheds and breeder farms. Its even pressure suits long lines where the end nipples would otherwise drip less than the first ones close to the source.

It also serves turkey, duck and goose farms, and it pairs with the filters, hoses and nipple fittings from the same range. Distributors bundle it into complete drinking line packages, since the scale window gives customers an easy way to judge water condition every day. The white shell also matches the rest of the YILU range, so spare brackets and outlet fittings stay interchangeable. This makes after-sales stocking simpler for distributors and lowers spare-part cost for end users who already run the same house.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why does the drinking line need a pressure reducing tank?

A: The tank holds water above the line and supplies the nipples at a steady gravity pressure, so drip rate stays even from the first nipple to the last in a long run.

Q2: How is the water level checked?

A: The front scale window is graduated from 40 to 200, so the level can be read directly from the front face without opening the lid.

Q3: What is the tank made of?

A: The body is injection molded ABS, light but stiff enough for header mounting, and it stands up to the disinfectant washes used between flocks.

Q4: How many units ship in one carton?

A: The standard export packing is 20 pieces per carton, which helps us calculate container freight accurately for your order and for mixed loads with other line parts.
